Who Changed This? (Now You'll Know in 3 Seconds)
Stop digging through Slack to find out who updated a card. Comments and activity history give you instant answers and preserve context forever.
Last week, a client asked me: "Who changed this card from Medium to Urgent priority?"
I had to dig through Slack, email, and our call notes. Fifteen minutes later, I found the answer buried in a thread from three days ago.
That question should have taken three seconds.
The Problem: Context Gets Lost
Every team has experienced this:
- Someone changes a due date. Nobody knows why.
- A card moves to "In Progress." Who's working on it?
- Priority shifts from Low to Urgent. What happened?
The work gets done, but the reasoning disappears. Teams end up with a board full of cards and no memory of how they got there.
Two Features That Fix This
Starting today, every card in Project Campfire has two new sections: Comments and Activity.
Comments: Discussion Where the Work Lives
Instead of scattering context across Slack channels, email threads, and meeting notes, you can now discuss work directly on the card.
Ask a question:
"Can you clarify what 'finalize copy' means here? Full rewrite or just edits?"
Share an update:
"Talked to the client. They're fine pushing this to next week."
Leave a note for yourself:
"Waiting on legal review before we can proceed."
Comments stay attached to the card. When someone picks up the work six months from now, the context is still there.
Activity: A Complete History of Changes
Every change to a card is now recorded automatically:
- Status changes: "Moved from Backlog to In Progress"
- Priority changes: "Changed priority from Medium to Urgent"
- Owner changes: "Assigned to Sarah Chen"
- Due date changes: "Due date changed from Jan 15 to Jan 22"
Each entry shows who made the change and when.
No more detective work. No more Slack threads asking "who did this?" The answer is right there on the card.
Why This Matters
Project management tools are good at tracking what needs to be done. They're terrible at preserving why decisions were made.
Six months from now, when someone asks "why did we push this deadline?", the answer shouldn't require archaeology. It should be two clicks away.
Comments and activity history turn your task board into institutional memory.
